Details:

North African cookbooks from the 13th century mention couscous. Wet semolina is rolled into a ball and covered in finely crushed wheat flour. Traditionally, couscous is steamed. Today's grocery couscous is the quick-cook variety.

This versatile grain can be served as a main meal or a side dish. It's usually eaten with meats and vegetables in North Africa, but not always. Its versatility makes it a unique option to rice or pasta.

"Kaskasa" means "to pound little" in Arabic. It is a traditional dish in France and is offered throughout North Africa. It is popular in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece.
